Ten Months Old

Elaine turned 10 months old on Wednesday, May 8.  Time is soaring by.  She is in double digits now.  How did this happen?!?!

-She continues to want to be independent.  She has stood three times that we have seen all by herself.  Not for very long, but for a few seconds or so.

-She is a cruiser and can be seen moving around on everything.  She especially likes all the vehicles that we have inside and outside.

-She is a talker too and loves to say ga ga ga, da da, ma ma.  Her favorite lately is saying ga ga ga really loudly and with excitement.

-She is a  little helper around the house now too.  Well kind of. :)

-Her teeth have come in, the top four and the top two are smiling brightly for all to see.

-She likes to wave, she actually started doing this last month too and pat Mommy on the back.  I remember the others doing this too.

-Elaine gets into everything these days.  Nothing is safe if it is at her level.

-I have been able to put a hair clip in her hair.  I started this last month, but here is a picture.  She doesn't have as much hair as Evie at this age, but we make it work and she looks adorable while doing it.

-She is eating more food now and especially loves her snacks.  She tried goldfish last night for the first time.  Wasn't too impressed yet, but could have also just been the mood she was in.  This month I am sure we will continue to explore with more tastes and textures.

-She continues to love her brother and sister and always enjoys being with them.  We are very thankful for their precious relationship.  Evan and Evie are so good with her too and are the best helpers.  Making sure she doesn't get into things she shouldn't or put too small of pieces in her mouth.  They also help to keep her happy in a sad situation.  Evan insists that her favorite song is this one he made up that goes, "Goo Goo Ga Ga, Goo Goo Ga Ga" and that it helps keep her calm.  So blessed by my big kids too.  Here they are all enjoying a ride together at Incredible John's Pizza.

This beautiful girl is a true blessing and we continue to thank God for her each and everyday!  Thanks for reading about our princess at 10 months!  Happy 10 Months sweet Elaine!  Mommy and Daddy love you!!!
